Pastor's Note, January 7, 2018

The Magi are the first non-Jews to worship Christ. Unless we have Jewish ancestors the Magi are our spiritual ancestors. The Epiphany also reminds us that we all need to seek to overcome the divisions among people especially based on race or ethnic origins. Tomorrow, January 8, we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and the end of Christmas Season. January 9th we begin Ordinary Time. This section of Ordinary Time will last until the beginning of Lent, Ash Wednesday, February 14. May our celebration of this Christmas Season help us to find Jesus Christ in the ordinary.
